I am converting an ASP Classic web site to an ASP.NET application and have
some real basic formatting or design questions. (The classic ASP site has
both code (forms) and content pages.)
1.When moving a significant amount of content from the ASP classic page
(basically formatted text in <P> tags) to an ASP.NET webform, is it better
to add it to the webform as HTML or should I put each paragraph into
separate (or perhaps a single) "label" web server controls?
2. Do most ASP.NET developers use the grid layout or HTML tags to position
their content? Is there an advantage of one over the other?
3. Should I convert content only Classic ASP pages to web forms (ASPX) or
should I just make them HTML pages?
4. In the Visual Studio 2003 grid layout when I try to position a label at
the very bottom of the display, I cannot easily expand the label (increase
its height property) by simply dragging the handle on its bottom edge to
give me the desired height. Instead I can only drag a few pixels beyond the
lower boundry and then I must use the scroll bar to scroll down a few
pixels, expose the handle, drag it a few more pixels, etc etc. This is
extremely frustrating. Of course I can change the height of the control by
setting that value in HTML view but when I am trying to position several
controls at the very bottom of my web form I don't want to keep switching
back and forth between views. Is there an easy way to handle this?
5. Finally, is there a way to left justify a group of selected controls in
the grid view of a web form?
